Product details
Overview
VLMO3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount soft orange LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 2.8–8 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 598–611 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting applications in office equipment and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMO3100-GS08 datasheet, VLMO3100-GS08 pinout, VLMO3100-GS08 application, or VLMO3100-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data-including JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, IR/vapor-phase solder compatibility, and 8 mm tape packaging for automated placement.
Technical Context
The VLMO3100-GS08 uses GaAsP-on-GaP semiconductor technology to emit soft orange light with peak wavelength at 605 nm and narrow dominant wavelength binning (598–611 nm). Its PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with clear epoxy lens and integrated reflector for directional output.
It operates within -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range, supports 20 mA DC forward current, and exhibits 15 pF junction capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz-enabling stable performance in low-speed indicator circuits without signal integrity concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 2.8–8 mcd at 10 mA - enables visible indication under typical indoor lighting without excessive power draw |
| Dominant wavelength | 598–611 nm - defines soft orange chromaticity suitable for non-distracting status indicators |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for panel-mounted symbols and switches |
| Forward voltage | 2.0–2.8 V at 20 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-supplied current-limiting resistor designs |
| Absolute max forward current | 20 mA continuous - sets safe operating limit for long-life operation at room temperature |
| Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | 400 K/W on >16 mm² PCB pad - requires minimal copper area for thermal management in space-constrained layouts |
| Reverse voltage rating | 6 V - sufficient for protection against common ESD transients and reverse-bias faults in low-voltage systems |
Pinout & Package
VLMO3100-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with lead frame embedded in white thermoplastic and clear epoxy lens. Dimensions per drawing 6.541-5067.01-4: 3.5 ± 0.2 mm length, 2.8 ± 0.15 mm width, 2.2 mm height, 1.75 ± 0.1 mm pin pitch, and 0.9 mm pin thickness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal for forward bias | Connected to current-limiting resistor; polarity must be observed during placement to avoid open-circuit failure |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal for forward bias | Internally connected to lead frame ground plane; serves as thermal and electrical return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables efficient coupling to light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity ratio ≤ 1.6 | Ensures consistent brightness across LEDs on same reel-critical for uniform panel appearance |
| JEDEC level 2a preconditioning | Validates moisture sensitivity handling for reliable reflow soldering without popcorn cracking |
| EIA/ICE standard PLCC-2 footprint | Guarantees compatibility with industry-standard pick-and-place nozzles and stencil apertures |
| Low profile (2.2 mm height) | Permits integration into ultra-thin enclosures and stacked PCB assemblies |
Applications
| Office Equipment Indicators | LCD Panel Backlighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Status indication on printers, scanners, and multifunction devices where color-coded feedback improves user interaction. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete visual indicator driven by microcontroller GPIO or dedicated LED driver IC.

Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for monochrome or segmented LCD displays in industrial HMIs and instrumentation panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light source coupled to acrylic light guide; operated in constant-current mode for stable luminance. Use Value: Non-diffused lens and precise 598–611 nm wavelength enable uniform, saturated backlight with minimal color shift over temperature. |
| Telecom Device Backlighting | Audio/Video Equipment Indicators |
Use Scenario: Keypad and display backlighting in VoIP phones and fax machines requiring low-power, long-life illumination. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SMD LED mounted adjacent to membrane switch or LCD segment; driven at 10 mA for optimal efficiency/lifetime balance. Use Value: 2.8–8 mcd output delivers adequate brightness at 3.3 V supply with <10 mW power consumption per device. |
Use Scenario: Power-on, mute, and input selection indicators on AV receivers, amplifiers, and streaming devices.

Use Value: GaAsP-on-GaP technology ensures stable chromaticity and luminous output over 50,000-hour lifetime at rated current. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY3100-GS08 | Yellow emission (581–594 nm), higher typical luminous intensity (11 mcd vs. 8 mcd), VF = 2.1–2.8 V | Better suited for high-contrast yellow indicators; less appropriate where soft orange color coding is specified | Select when system design requires yellow chromaticity or higher baseline brightness at same drive current |
| VLMH3100-GS08 | Orange-red emission (612–625 nm), higher typical luminous intensity (12 mcd), VF = 2.0–2.8 V | Used where deeper red-orange tone is needed for differentiation from amber/yellow; wider wavelength spread | Choose for applications demanding stronger red component in the orange spectrum or higher intensity margin |
Compared with VLMO3100-GS08, VLMY3100-GS08 offers brighter yellow output but shifts chromaticity outside soft orange specification, while VLMH3100-GS08 extends wavelength toward red and increases intensity-making both useful alternatives only when color or brightness requirements differ from the original soft orange target.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLMO3100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMO3100-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 74 °C. Operation at this current requires adequate PCB copper area (pad size > 16 mm²) to maintain junction temperature below 100 °C. For extended lifetime, Vishay recommends operating at 10 mA, where VLMO3100-GS08 delivers 2.8–8 mcd luminous intensity with lower thermal stress.
Does VLMO3100-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
Yes-VLMO3100-GS08 is moisture-sensitive per JEDEC level 2a and must be baked if exposed to ambient conditions exceeding 30 °C/60 % RH for more than 672 hours after opening the dry bag. Recommended bake conditions are 96 hours at 60 °C ± 5 °C and <5 % RH for reels, or 24 hours at 100 °C ± 5 °C for cut tape (not suitable for full reels).
What is the dominant wavelength range of VLMO3100-GS08 and why does it matter?
The dominant wavelength of VLMO3100-GS08 is specified as 598–611 nm, defining its soft orange chromaticity. This range ensures visual distinction from yellow (581–594 nm) and orange-red (612–625 nm) variants in the same VLM.310. family-critical for color-coded status indication where human perception must reliably differentiate states.
Can VLMO3100-GS08 be used in wave soldering processes?
Yes-VLMO3100-GS08 is qualified for infrared, vapor-phase, and wave soldering per CECC 00802 and J-STD-020. Its PLCC-2 package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds during wave soldering. The recommended double-wave profile maintains lead temperature between 235–260 °C and preheats to 100–130 °C to prevent thermal shock.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMO3100-GS08, and what does IVmax./IVmin. ≤ 1.6 mean?
VLMO3100-GS08 is binned by luminous intensity per JEDEC standards, with IVmax./IVmin. ≤ 1.6 within each 8 mm tape reel-meaning the brightest and dimmest units on the same reel differ by no more than 1.6×. This guarantees uniform brightness across all LEDs installed in a single product batch, eliminating visible mismatch in multi-LED arrays or panels.
